Gary Neville believes Arsenal can win the Premier League title this term if they bolster their squad with the right signings during the January transfer window.
The Gunners dropped points for the ninth time this season following a 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, missing out on a chance to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool, who also drew on Sunday against Manchester United.
Arsenal have been linked with Newcastle United hitman Alexander Isak, with Paul Merson urging them to break the bank to land the Sweden international before the ongoing transfer window closes.
However, Neville does not see the North London club spending the £150 million the Magpies want for the 25-year-old anytime soon, and he has doubts over whether Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz can get the job done for them.
The Sky Sports pundit claims the Arsenal striking duo could be frustrating to watch at times as they struggle to get their positioning right.
“Jesus, I watched him again last night, I actually love Gabriel Jesus, but he is everywhere except where you want him,” he said on the latest episode of the Gary Neville podcast.
“Havertz is a little bit the same, you want them really in that six-yard box.
“It is just a bit frustrating watching them at times because I think they have got something about them, the journey they are on with the manager, and they will be happy today that Liverpool have dropped points and they are still in it, but they are going to have to improve enormously, I think.”
Jesus has enjoyed a rich vein of form recently, with six goals to his name in his last five games, while Havertz has five goals in his last eight games appearances for Arsenal.
However, whether they can produce the goods and help get the Gunners over the line in the title race remains to be seen.
Isak has nine goals in his last eight Premier League games and having such a number 9 could make a huge difference for Arsenal.
However, they may need to wait until summer to have a realistic chance of landing the Newcastle star and go for other options this month, with a loan move for Brighton striker Evan Ferguson mooted.
